Join us and Music Hackspace as we celebrate International Women’s Day with a specially curated series of free events, led by experts and masters in their field, open and available to all participants from the 6th – 13th March.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, Music Hackspace invite you to explore their unique workshops, which range from live coding sound to creating dynamic drum patterns, plus much more.

All sessions will be led by women artists, creators, producers and educators, within a safe and inviting online space.

Music Hackspace champion and celebrate women who are active within the music technology field, and hope to support more women (and those who are not often represented including those who identify as non-binary) in learning music technology. Together, we ask everyone in our community to challenge the status quo in music technology, to create more equal, representative and inclusive space for everyone to create, engage and enjoy.
